Near the beginning, on the Pinyon Flats Trail
|
|
|
|
 |
Still the Pinyon Flats Trail
|
|
 |
The switchback below us, shortly before the Pinyon Flats Trail joins the Palm Canyon Trail
|
|
|
 |
The Palm Canyon Trail has a number of steep, loose, rocky, hike-a-bike sections
|
|
 |
Where we stopped for lunch, there's water
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Sunset when we retrieve the vehicles from the top
|
|
 |
At the beginning of the ride: Jim, Jonathon, Brett, Rainer, Steve, Mike, Beate, Richard, Howard, Lisa, Leslie, PK, Walt and Dennis (taking the photo)
|
|
 |
Snack-time for Steve!
|

|
|
 |
Yet another wash that's too steep/loose to ride out of
|
|
 |
Catching our breath after a tough little climb
|
|
 |
Brett's at the top of the Whatchimacallit Trail
|
|
 |
Cruising down the Hahn Trail
|
|
 |
The switchbacks near the end of the Pinyon Flats Trail that get us down to the bottom of Palm Canyon
|
|
 |
Leslie pauses at the top of a little ramp that someone's dug to ease our way into the wash
|
|
|
 |
As we crested this hill we got an amazing view into Palm Springs.
|
|
 |
Looks like Leslie had a nasty encounter in the sand wash
|
|
 |
The sand wash has 3 more miles that looks just like this!
